Abstract

This article aims to address the role played by the sport in the Franco regime's foreign policy during the sixties. In particular, we analyze the importance of Raimundo Saporta in the world of the sport, and specifically his influence in the basketball of the second half of XX century in the Spanish and international context, as well as in the sphere political and diplomatic. In addition, this work focuses on the study of the two matches played between Real Madrid CF and CSKA Moscow in the final of the European Cup of Basketball in 1963; and the protagonism of Saporta as negotiator, to secure that the Spanish authorities as much as the Soviet were granted the permission to play the eliminatory matches on two legs.
